When Will I Learn?

[sthief09]

I fold when I should call and I call when I should fold... someone make me feel stupid so I don't do it again

This looks fine. Don't be results-oriented. You don't think 10% of the time he's gonna be a knucklehead?

[David BB]

This hand pretty much plays itself. Nothing you could or should do differently imo.

[steamboatin]

In a B&amp;M you would be amazed how many times they will turn over a four or smaller pocket pair. A crying call here wins often enough to pay for itself.

I don't. you don't see that many super-slowplays, so I got really curious. I'm waiting for Tosh to show up. He's good at these types of situations.

question for all: if he check-raises the turn, I can fold, right?

[bisonbison]

I don't.

You gotta give me some kind of read for me to fold here. Any kind of read.

You're closing the action on the river, the other player folds, it's a blank, you've been betting the whole way, but there are no broadways on the board. Maybe 88 or A5 decided he was good andthat you wouldn't 3-bet cause of the paired board.

No one knows this, but Tosh is actually the worst player in the world. Listen to him at your own peril.

Do you have a read?

"You don't think 10% of the time he's gonna be a knucklehead?"

I don't understand this.......

[sthief09]

there's about 9 BB in the pot when it's up to me. it costs me 1 BB to call, so I'm being offered 9 bets for 1. that's 9-1, or 1 in 10, or 10%

[StellarWind]

There is no other way to play this hand. You cannot fold KK just because one unknown player raises.

If you never folded a made hand on the river for one bet it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

sthief09,

I would have played it the same way.
